Review[]
I first saw IQU open with Kanda at an Of Montreal show this summer, and was really impressed. The coolest thing with them is that not only do they have a theremin, but they actually know how to PLAY it. I don't mean "just get cool space-y noise out" -- they actually do MELODIES on it. Witness from this record, their cover of "Loving You". MAN. Also, the rest of the album is just really cool, fun dance-type stuff. I don't have their first record, but I've heard it, and I don't enjoy it nearly as much; if, perhaps, you've heard that one and were less-than-impressed, check Sun Q out anyway—I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. - Rev.
